Chapter 2421: Not Allowed

Tian Shanshan was flustered!

They were both members of the Shao family, yet Shao Liulang’s arrogance was infuriating.

“If it weren’t for the fact that his surname is Shao, you wouldn’t have married him in the first place!”

“Do you really think Shao Yunduan is a pushover who can be easily manipulated? You might think he’s forgotten what you’ve done, but can you guarantee he has? Do you think he cares about you? Have you forgotten how he treated you in the past?”

Shao Liulang’s face flushed with anger. “So what? Now that he’s the emperor, he still has the nerve to argue with me? I’m his cousin! Our father is his brother! I refuse to believe he’ll be so cold-hearted. Isn’t he afraid of public criticism? Besides, even if he makes me a prince, what does he lose?”

“In the past, we were each loyal to our own masters. What did I do wrong? He treated me poorly, and I didn’t hold a grudge. What right does he have to hold a grudge against me?”

Tian Shanshan was stunned. She couldn’t believe how shameless someone could be.

Though it sounded logical, Tian Shanshan knew better.

She was done discussing this with Shao Liulang. With a cold tone, she said, “I said you’re not going.”

It wasn’t the first time Tian Shanshan had spoken to Shao Liulang like this. Previously, he would have agreed with a smile, but things were different now.

Now he was floating.

“You don’t need to worry about this, my dear. I—”

“Don’t you understand what I’m saying? I said you’re not allowed to go!” Tian Shanshan shouted, her frustration evident. Taking a deep breath to control her anger, she continued coldly, “It’s not that I don’t want you to go. It’s just not the right time. What are you busy with? Wait until the time is right. If you act recklessly, don’t blame me for being harsh. Do you still want to be an official? Hmph, keep dreaming!”

Shao Liulang glared at Tian Shanshan, his face contorted with anger.

Tian Shanshan, striving to maintain her composure, forced herself to speak calmly. “I’m not saying you can’t go, but now is not the best moment. If you approach him now, your chances of success are slim. Why not wait a bit longer?”

At this moment, Shao Yunduan had just ascended to the throne, and there were many pressing matters in the capital and the court. If Shao Liulang were to demand an official position and title now, it would be seen as a nuisance. No one would have the time or patience to deal with such a trivial issue.

It would be wiser to wait until the capital and the imperial court were more settled. Then, Shao Liulang would attract more attention, and his request would be taken seriously.

After a period of transition, when princes, kings, ministers, and commoners had all adjusted, any royal gossip would captivate public interest. By then, many would be eager to see how Shao Yunduan would handle such a situation.

At that point, Shao Liulang would have a much better chance of achieving his goals.

Unfortunately, this good-for-nothing was too foolish and eager to jump in without thinking.

Fortunately, she had received some timely news.

Hearing Tian Shanshan’s explanation, Shao Liulang finally grasped her point. He smiled and said, “You’re so clever! What you said makes perfect sense. If that’s the case, we’ll follow your advice and wait a bit longer. Humph, unless Shao Yunduan wants everyone to see him as heartless, he won’t be able to ignore us!”
